It is in rooms such as this that a hybrid system of both radiant heating and the Hi-Velocity System would be the optimum system to provide comfort conditioning. This will provide the home owner with good indoor air quality, and warm floor comfort (not as effective if carpet is laid down).
A common approach to a hybrid system is to heat the basement with radiant tubing. The main floor and 2nd floor if applicable would be heated with the Hi-Velocity System. A few outlets can also be placed in the basement to provide air circulation, and supplementary heating if required.
When running Hi-Velocity Systems from a low water temperature system (e.g. A hot water tank), care must be taken when designing and installing the system. Due to the lower water temperature there will be less BTUH’s and therefore a lower supply air temperature, it is imperative that the water temperature is known at the design stage. If possible the highest temperature setting should be used, and a water tempering valve installed for the domestic use. The higher water temperature will increase system efficiencies, and the water tempering valve will reduce the risk of scalding. Since some areas have specific regulations regarding combo systems, please check your local building code for details on water tank temperatures, tempering valves, and pump timers.
Due to the lower air temperatures, when running the ductwork in an unconditioned space, the main plenum must be insulated and vapour barriered. Extra insulation should also be used in order to maintain a reasonable leaving air temperature at the vents.
To size a Hi-Velocity System for a residence, it is necessary to have an accurate heat loss/gain done for the structure. This will ensure the proper equipment is used for cooling and heating.
A heat loss/gain is done for each room, which will give a total BTUH load for the structure.

The design factors used to achieve this heat loss/gain are shown on Fig. 02.
Hi-Velocity System DesignOne of the benefits of using a hydronic system is the
versatility that you have when designing the heating system. Radiant floor heating is an excellent system, but it does have limitations. You cannot have cooling, air filtration, and humidification with a straight radiant heating system. Similarly, sometimes a forced air system is not the only option available for a house, especially if it has a lot of ceramic tile or concrete floor areas.
In the sample house included, radiant floor heating may be unable to meet the requirements to heat the nook. With the Hi-Velocity System, we can heat this room, but would have an excessive number of outlets in a small area.

With the total load known for the structure, it is now possible to select the proper Hi-Velocity unit (Specifications - Pg. 7).

HE-70 H180°F45,757 BTUH28,579 BTUH2” = 20 HE = 102” = 29 HE = 152.5 ton
Once the unit has been selected, the average numbers of outlets can be determined (Specifications - Pg. 7). To determine the average number of vents, the minimum is added to the maximum and divided by two.Example: (Using only 2” outlets)
(Min Outlets (20) + Max Outlets (29) / 2 = 25) * *Example shown using only 2” outlets
With the average number of vents known it is now possible to determine the average BTUH output per vent. Dividing the average number of outlets into the fan coil output (Specifications - Pg. 7) will give an average BTUH output per vent.
Example:BTUH per Outlet for HEATING
73,800 BTUH / 25 = 2,952 BTUH/OUTLET(2,952 BTUH delivery per outlet for Heating)
BTUH per Outlet for COOLING30,000 BTUH / 25 = 1,200 BTUH/OUTLET(1,200 BTUH delivery per outlet for Cooling)
The BTUH per outlet is then used to figure out how many outlets are required for each room. As an example, here is a room by room load calculation for the house plan included (Fig. 02).

A room (Nook) that has a heat loss of 8,326 BTUH and a heat gain of 5,233 BTUH will need 4 vents.
Example:
4 x 2,952 BTUH = 11,808 BTUH(11,808 > 8,326 Heating requirements satisfied)
4 x 1,200 BTUH = 4,800 BTUH(4,800 < 5,233 Cooling requirements not satisfied)
The heating checks out but the cooling doesn’t in this example. We allow a 0.1 variance on vent checks, which gives a little leeway with vent placement. Also with the kitchen being an adjoining room with an extra 712 BTUH it will help the nook maintain the desired temperature

Not all rooms will check out for cooling as illustrated in Table 04, we allow a 0.1 variance on vent checks per room. The Main concern is the total unit output being higher than house BTUH loss. With the venturi action of the Hi-Velocity System the individual rooms will affect each other and help maintain the desired room temperature.
Unit Selection
Average BTUH Per Outlet
Difference in no. of Vents Req’d for Htg & ClgThere may be cases when the number of outlets
needed for heating is significantly different than the amount needed for cooling. This is usually caused by a large appliance load or an excessive amount of windows. If this happens you will have to use the greater number of outlets to provide both heating and cooling for the room. The vents have dampers and can be adjusted for individual room comfort. In cooling mode the outlets must be in the fully open position or there will be a loss in performance and the efficiency of the system.

With the total vents known, the layout of the Hi-Velocity System can now be done. Start with individual vent placements (if you have not already read the section on Vents in System Design, please do so before starting). Then place the main plenum so the flex runs will be the shortest length possible. With the plenum placed, the flex runs can be drawn connecting the vent outlet to the main plenum.
Fig. 03 - Placing Vents: Nook
4 Vents distributedevenly throughout
the space.
With this room 3 two inch vents would have satisfied the heating requirements, but would not satisfy the cooling requirements. For the nook we need 4 two inch vents for cooling, so 4 two inch vents must be placed in the nook. The vents do have an adjustable damper and can be adjusted for individual room comfort if too much heating is being supplied. In cooling mode the outlets must be in the fully open position.
With a 56/44 split we will be able to reach all vents using standard 10’ and 15’ flex runs. If you have to extend the flex runs longer than 10’, reference Table 05 for adjustment factors. Space Savers series minimum length is 5’, and adjustments must be made from table 05 if extending flex runs longer than 5’.
For this layout we have chosen to use a Main Plenum with a 56/44 bullhead tee split. On one side 14 vents will used, while 11 will be used on the other. This is allowable as we can use a Bull Head Tee up to a 60/40 split. If the split is greater than 60/40, a Branch Tee should be used instead of the Bullhead Tee. See Module DUC - Installing Plenum and Branch Duct for Installation Instructions.
Table 07 - Allowable Branch Duct LengthsModel Min. Length Max. Length
HE Series 10’ (3.05m) 25’ (7.62m)
The main plenum we choose to use is 8”, it is not required to use 8” for the whole run. If space or cost is a concern, the main plenum can be reduced down to a smaller size. If reducing the plenum, reference Table 06 for allowable length and maximum number of vents for the size chosen. Never reduce at a bullhead tee, always reduce after the bullhead tee or you can lose approximately 20% of your airflow.
Once the vents and plenum have been drawn in, the two may now be connected with the flexible branch duct. The minimum flex run is 10’ (3.05m) and the maximum is 25’ (7.62m)

To demonstrate a vent layout, we’ll place 4 two inch vents to properly condition the Nook (Fig. 03). From table 16 we calculated that the Nook has a Heat loss/gain of 8,326/5,233, which will require 4 two inch vents to satisfy heating and cooling requirements.

The outlets should be located where it is considered to be a “low traffic area”. Typical areas are in the corner of a room, or to the side of a window or door. When the vents are properly located, the home owner can expect to have a nearly draft free home.
Once all the vents have been placed in each room, the main plenum can now be drawn. Figs. 04 and 05 shows where all vents have been located in the individual rooms.
